Word Meaning
होगे
hoge
Meaning
Will be; will become (second person plural or respectful singular).
Detailed Meaning
In this couplet, 'hoge' functions as a second-person future tense of the verb 'hona' (to be or become). It sets up a conditional realization: only when the beloved or addressee truly becomes an impassioned lover will they appreciate the stature and emotional depth of Mir. At present, the person merely flirts with the novelty of desire.
Etymology
Sanskrit 'भवति' (bhavati) via Prakrit 'होइ' (hoi) leading to Old Hindi/Hindustani 'होना'.
Usage
In classical Urdu poetry, future-tense verb forms like 'hoge' frequently set up conditional warnings or bittersweet foresight addressed to an inexperienced heart or a distant beloved.
